Tuesday morning at the barns... Water Wall (waterfall wall)... Everyone should be in good spirits this evening... Equine walkway to the sales arena... Todd Pletcher at the Gainesway barn looking at Hip #168... Stairway to the balcony overlooking the sales floor... Quiet now... Walls are lined with artwork for sale... Red dots indicate 'sold'... Taking a break... And Bob Baffert walked by... Oklahoma! Where the good turf horses go to train... Game time... We found a strategic bench in the back where we could watch the horses enter and exit. Most of these yearlings had never seen this many people at once and were sounding off about it... Rob and I got photobombed by trainer Joseph O'Brien (blue blazer), who had stayed over for the sales after winning the Saratoga Derby with State of Rest... It got very busy around 7:30pm, and folks were enjoying themselves... The salestopper, Hip #168, on his way to $2.6 million... Woody the bid spotter at his post out back... TW
